VENT FOR FULLLINED GARMENTS AND METHOI) 0F MAKING IT.

Application'led January 22, 1923. Serial No. 614,078.

My invention pertains to anl improved vent for a full lined garment such for instance as, full lined sack coats or overcoats.

Fully lined garment vents as now commonly constructed by the trade, so far as my knowledge extends, involve some hand work. Usually7 one side of the vent'is busted where# as the other sidek of theyent is basted at v least at the top. and the bast-ing stitch is'- pensive and moredurable garment has re' sulted .from the. employment `ot 4my novel I plicate half backs of a coat fabric.

method.

The `following steps of my method to produce a new article of manufacture are enumerated: y Y

(1) Cutting half backs of coat material; (2) stitching back seaml of coat sections down 'to the top of the vent; (3) pressing open the back seam of the coat and pressing flap of right half back against the left halt' ba ck: (4) cutting the half'backs from lining material; (5) seaming the two lining half backs together along a portion of their bordering edges: (6) notching one halt back of the lining; (v7) attaching the lining to the coat material along all edges except the lower edge: (8) turning the coat dummy inside out; (9) seaming the lining to the coat along the bottom: (10) folding back the attac-hed coat and lining sections of one-half` back preparatory to machine stitching the notch after turning to anew position a corner section of the lining bordering onev side of the notch; (11) machine stitching the notch; (12) sewing the lining to the coat materialen one side .of the vent 'from the bottom up to and slightly past the mid" dle back seam; (13) sewing the lining to the coat fabric on the other side of the vent from the top to the bottom of the entire backg.

(14) turning the coat right side out and pressing oney side of the Vent construction to its proper overlapping position; (15) stitching through all of the pieces across the top ot the vent.

on line l stitch added.

Figure XXVII is a sectionw on line XXVII-XXVII of Figure XXVI.

Figure XXVIII is an outside view of the finished vent portion of the coat.

Figure XXIX is a View of the complete garment.

For a clear understanding of the drawings of this application it is stated at the outset that the cloth of thek coat is light-ly surface shaded diagonally to distinguish it from the lining material which is lightly shaded vertically, also, the stitches are indicated by short dots whereas the concealedv edges of the material will be shown with the usual dotted lines.

Figure I illustrates one of two lduplicate half backs of the exterior garment fabric each being provided along a portion ofv its lengthl with a laterally extended portion which will act as a flap or a fold. The one half back l has a flap and the other half back 3 has a Hap 4. The half backs l and 3 are seamed together in the ordinary way alo-ng a line 5 terminating at the commencement of the flaps 2 and 4t which in Figure II are vshown in their folded positions. Next, the seam 5 is pressed open and the flap 2 on the right half back` (considered to be on the wearer of thev garment) pressed back so as to overlap the 'flap on the left half back.

Two lining halfbacks 6 andf? are ynext seamed along a line 8 to a point 8a and then the left vlining half back is notchedalong the dotted lines shown in yFigure VII, the notch being an angular cut including one incision 9 starting at the edge of the material a short distance from the point 8a then continuing' substantially perpendicularly to the seam line 8 after which the incision is extended for about an equal distance diagonally upward at 10. The provision of such a notch is one of the featured originations of my invention.

The notch location is determined and established so that the bottom of the lining, to be finished in the customary manner will assume the proper height or in otherwords be spaced the proper distance from the lowermost edge of the finished coat. rIhe seamed lining pieces 6 and 7 are now attached to the coat half backs alongall the edges, but inasmuch as Figure IX is a broken view ,only the stitching 1l and 11:L along the bottom and on each side of the vent appears indicated. For this operation the piece consisting of the two coat half backs is turned upside down from the position occupied inl lines in Figure IX. Directing attention to Figure XIII it will be observed that the left composite or linedv half back is thrown or folded back preparatory to machine stitching a notch bordering corner area 12 of the lining to the flap on the right coat half back, after making a unique turning adjustment. Such adjustment consists in turning the area l2 tothe left, as viewed in Figure XIII, through an angleof substantially one hundredjand eighty degrees (1800) so that a point 13 on such lining area l2 is brought over a point let on the coat flap and another point 15 on the lining is brought over a point lI6 on the coat flap. It will be further observed that a line drawn between the points 13 and l5 and a line drawn between the points la and 16 are substantially parallel, or in other words perpendicular to the seam lines 5 and 8 before the turning adjustment has been made. Thereafter, the left unit having been still further raised out of the way, the machine stitch 17 is made with the line between the points I3 and ll5 coinciding with the line between the points 14 and 16. lVhile effecting such turning 0r twisting adjustment the lining has neces-l sarily been drawn upwardly somewhat as suggested by the curls sho-wn at the bottom of Figures XIII and XIV.

The vent construction is now returned to the position shown in Figure XV and after properly adjusting and holding the laminated or juxtaposed relationship as between the coat fabric and the lining, the right side of the vent is seamed up along the dotted line I8 to a point opposite the bottom 8a of the lining stitch. Then the left side of the vent construction is seamed up along the dotted line i9 to a point of intersection with the notch line as may be seen in Figure XVII. Following this the unfinished garment is turned right side out andlTigure XVIII is purposed to reveal lthe appearance of the notch after the lining on the lright side of the vent (the left as vviewed in such ligure) vis drawn slightly tothe left. The sectional views XIX, XX and XXI should further aid to an understanding of the disposition of the parts at this stage of manufacture. Figure XXII shows the vent lining on its left side accurately folded over to its proper position and there pressed to establish the overlapping of the lined flap 20, looking at the inside of the coat. IVhile in suoli position the final machine stitch 2li. is made entirely through from front side to back side commencing at the top of the vent and extending a given distance parallel with the bottom of the coat across its left half back.

The construction thus attained as a full lined vent is not only neat, but strong and supplies sufficient weight for the realization of a gravitational restoration of the coat tails to a proper hang and triin appearance.

I claim l. The method of making a lined garment vent which consists in j iartway seaniing'two back pieces of fabric and part iay seaining two back pieces of lining, bringing together into appropriately juxtaposed and laminated ielationsliip the, two pieces of fabric and the two pieces of lining, stitching together the joined fabric pieces and the joined liningl pieces around their marginal edges and then stitching together an iinseamed lining por vtion on one side of the garii'ient-back to an iiiiseained fabric portion on the other side of the garment-back.

2. The method of making a lined garment vent which constists in bringing together into laminated relationship two partway seanied pieces of fabric and two paii'tway seained pieces of lining juxtaposed in pairs, stitching together the pairs of pieces, cutting a notch in one piece of lining and then stitching a portion of the latter bordering said *notch to the fabric 'of the other pair whereby a vent is provided.

3. The methody of making a lined garment vent which consists in partway seaining to-A gether a pair of fabric half backs'oiie rof which is provided beyond one end of the fabric seam with a flap overlapping the other, partway seaming together a pair of lining halfbacks one of which is provided beyond one end of th-e lining seam with a. flap, effecting a laminated relationship in pairs between the lining and fabric half backs, notcliiiig that lining half back which is substantially juxtaposed to the other of said fabric half backs and then stitching a notch bordering portion of said last inen-l tioned lining half back to the flap of the fabric half back.

4. The method of making a lined garment vent which consists iii partway seaining together pair lof fabric half backs, partway seaining together a pair of lining half backs, effecting a laminated relationship in pairs between the lining and fabric half backs, cutting an angular shaped notch into one lining half back, turning a notch bordering portion of said lastnientioned lining Ihalf back through anarc and then stitching it to a fabric half back.

rIhe method of making a lined garn'ient vent which consists in iiiartway seaniing to-v of that lining half back which is substantialljvv juxtaposed to the other of said fabric half backs and an angular shaped notch in cluding a line of cut at a right angle to the line of seam, tiirning a notch bordering portion of said last mentioned lining lialf back through an angle of 180O and then stitching it to the fabric-half back flap.

6. The method of making a lined garment vent which consists in seaming pai-tway togetlier'a pair vof fabric half backs one of which is provided beyond one end of the fabric seam with a flapoverlapping the other, seaining partway together a pair of lining half backs one of which is provided beyond one end of the lining seam with a flap, ef!v fecting a laminated relationship in pairs between the lining and fabric half backs, sew* ing the pairs of lining and fabric half backs together, turning the attached pieces inside out, cutting a notch into one lining half back, turning a notch borde-ring portion of said last mentioned lining` half back and then stitching it tothe fabric half back flap.

'i'. A garment provided with a vent flap, and a lining piece therefor fashioned with an incision whereby a portion of said lining bordering said incision may be displaced, said portion being sewn to saidjflap in its dis-v placed position.
